Unaccountable Commissioners are unelected and their decisions cannot be repealed or overturned by Ohioans or their elected representatives. The amendment provides no means for members to be removed from the commission, even if they commit a felony.

Untested & Unacceptable The amendment would add a permanent, untested process into Ohio’s Constitution, which would be almost impossible to repeal or change.Arbitrary and unfair eligibility rules disqualify mil-lions of Ohioans from serving on the Commission.
